#4 of 7 in Video Hosting by Overall Score

What Is Bunny Stream?

Bunny Stream provides video upload, encoding, storage and playback through Bunny's delivery infrastructure. Its player supports chapters, captions, playback-speed controls, highlights and retention heatmaps, while APIs let developers manage video libraries and integrate streaming into applications; optional security and delivery controls are designed for sites that need scalable hosted video without building a video pipeline.

Best for: Developers and online platforms that need hosted video encoding and delivery exposed through APIs and configurable players.

Bunny Stream provides resumable uploads through its API and exposes HLS streams for applications that bring their own video player. Delivery security can include token authentication and hotlink controls without separate per-feature charges on the standard product. Standard encoding is included, while premium codecs and enterprise DRM have separate terms; streaming and stored volume remain the main usage variables.
